Abstract

Summary: The VetCompass™ programme has, over recent years, been a rich source of new publications on veterinary primary care. The brain child of Dan O'Neill, Senior Lecturer in Companion Animal Epidemiology at the Royal Veterinary College, VetCompass utilises the clinical records of large numbers of veterinary practices to discover new evidence regarding breed specific health data and information on the prevalence and management of specific diseases. Its conclusions can subsequently inform both individual veterinary practice and policy, at an organisational level. At the time of writing, the VetCompass database comprises data from over 20 million animals from over 1800 UK veterinary practices. This month's Small Animal Review looks at three recent examples to be published using data from the project.
